Also, the bad guys could kidnap your children and use them to force you to hand over your password. The histrionic use of "snake oil" is silly. Only idiots think that secrets are safe under all conditions, viz, the above. The real world meaning of secure is to make it very (very, very) difficult for bad guys to get access to your stuff. It is neither reasonable nor desirable to have some kind of perfect world where no mistakes can be made to help bad guys get caught. If this can be done with almost zero good guys being compromised, good enough. Sanctimonious sneering about 'theater' when WhatsApp, Signal and iMessages make practical security available to the masses is, well, sanctimonious. Unpleasant, even.
